This proclamation flips the switch on the remaining parts of the 2011 Act, meaning **new food safety obligations, penalties, or regulatory powers take effect** from 1 February 2015.\n- Without this document, those sections would remain dormant (not legally enforceable) even though Parliament already approved them years earlier."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/proclamation-under-the-primary-produce-safety-act-2011","history":"/api/acts/proclamation-under-the-primary-produce-safety-act-2011/history","analysis":"/api/acts/proclamation-under-the-primary-produce-safety-act-2011/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/proclamation-under-the-primary-produce-safety-act-2011/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/proclamation-under-the-primary-produce-safety-act-2011/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/proclamation-under-the-primary-produce-safety-act-2011/documents"}}
